It was almost surreal, coming to her office after being sidelined for so long, but LTJG Jenny Hanmore was more relieved than anything else. She'd planned just to check on a few things, to get caught up, while remaining unobtrusive as she slowly took back the reins. After all, Chief DeFalco had assured her on many occasions that everything was well in hand, and that was before Neil Graves had returned. Now, everything was set for Meryn to slide back in, and things would be nearly normal. At least, that was the plan.

Description
The Brunel Class Workbee is a simple pod, which has changed little from previous workbee incarnations. Featuring a large canopy which provides a wide vision range the operator is seated in the canopy which despite being both heated and pressurised is large enough to accommodate a person in a spacesuit, just incase anything goes wrong with the workbee.
Propulsion is provided by eight Chemical thrusters fixed at intervals around the pod, which enable it to move around at a fair pace, however they provide just four hours burn time for the pod, somewhat limiting the length of time it can be utilised for, whilst power is provided by a micro-Sarium-krellide power cell, of the kind used on 2360’s shuttle craft. Whereas previously Starfleet had equipped a number of different types of workbee for different roles, the Brunel features a number of hardpoints to which equipment can be added to give the Brunel a high degree of flexibility. However as with previous models a pair of manipulator arms which fold into the body of the workbee are featured on the Brunel. The additions which the Brunel can carry include:
-Phaser Welder
-Tractor Beam Emitter
-Cargo Train Attachment
